The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales by Oliver Sacks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Beautifully written and memorable. Sacks brings his readers into the rooms of his patients in a way that feels almost too familiar. But even when things get especially weird, Sacks always steers the narrative with great care and tact. Sacks clearly adored his work and his patients.

Brains are such funny things. We’re all just a few chemicals or altered connections away from being almost entirely different versions of ourselves. And some of these changes make for really good writing.
